How much have you spent on things like this?

Calculate how much you’ve spent on items like this. Let’s say, for example, it’s a piece of jewelry from a high-end brand that you love. You buy three or four pieces a year from them, and each piece is around $150 to $200. On a pricey year, that’s $800 on this jewelry. Which does not appreciate. Instead of thinking of this one purchase, think of your pattern of these types of purchases, and what you could have done with that money if you’d saved it.
